Black Gold was a soil company started by ganja farmers in the heart of the Wilamette Valley in Oregon. I believe they were bought by Sungro but if I don't have time to mix soil, it's my go to for clones and seedlings. You made a good choice and your plants look fine. Once the weather gets a little bit better and they get in a bigger home they'll clock into over drive

If you put them in bigger pots, you will be able to go a while longer before you water. It lets you have a little more buffer zone before they end up dried out and wilted. Even one gallon pots would help a lot from the party cups you have. I've got a thread going full of my outdoor adventures. Stop by and see what's been working for me.

Good luck and happy farming bud.

Your soil still looks moist, I don' swatered after you got home before you took the picture, but they don't look dried up to me. What black gold soil did you use? There is a chance it had fertilizers added and could be burning your plants.

What should I do. Should I transplant them to the final spot?

The last two look in pretty rough shape and they look too small for the roots to have grown enough to hold the dirt together during transplant. I question whether they'd even survive it. Were they bag seed? Do you have more?

Too wet. Do you have drainage holes in the coffee cups? Make sure that water has a way to get out of there. It is much easier to kill a little one like that with too much water than with too little.

Got some good soil, black gold soil brand. And carefully transplanted then and even separated the plants that were in the same cup. There looking better in this soil. Let me know what to do next guys and thank you for the advice.

My advice would be to use mykos by xtreme garden whenever you transplant. And water with super thrive or another kelp based product to water them after the transplant. I've never tried that soil either but have heard decent reviews. I prefer Fox farms ocean forest and their happy frog. I blend the two, since the OF is very hot and the happy frog has a good amount of humic acid and mycorrhizae already included. So I've had really good results by mixing the 2 at a 2 to 1 ratio. Happy to OF. During my first grow I made the mistake of pusay footing the transplant bucket size. If I had to do it over I would start in the 1 gal after solo cup. Then straight to their permanent home. Whether that's 10 gallons or 15. I transplanted too many times and although with my methods I never had transplant stress, I'm positive I stunted the growth of my plant. Also I highly recommend smart pots or any other fabric pot your store sells. They work amazing. Better than any plastic pot

Until the nights get long enough to trigger the flower switch. Stains vary, but 13 1/2 hours of daylight/14 1/2 hours of night is the usual tripping point.

Hey guys been too busy to post so all my plants that I originally had died. Awhile ago I got some more from a friend, there some glue traps (gg4 x guard dawg f2) they are 49days old.

What size pots are you in now? If you can't bring them inside, going into the ground might be your best bet. If the plants are used to being outside, storms shouldn't mess with them too much. Dig your holes about twice as big as your current pots, put what soil you have in them and use dirt for the rest. If you have any dry plant food, add a little of that to the holes.
